Thrill-seekers run with the bulls – in Georgia

Participants run alongside charging bulls during the Great Bull Run at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Ga., Oct. 19, 2013.

About 3,000 runners showed up for the event, which was inspired by the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain and has future stops planned in Texas, Florida, California, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

People on horseback herded 18 bulls into a fenced course. Many stood alongside the fence as the bulls ran by, but some tried to sprint with the animals. A few runners fell down or were knocked down by the bulls, but no serious injuries were reported.
